OpenDataSource()

Hello, I am trying to connect to a JBase database via an Attunity Connect
ODBC machine DSN but I'm struggling with the syntax. The DSN is called
ClarityODBC and this is the syntax I'm using:
SELECT *
FROM OPENdatasource('SQLOLEDB','dsn=ClarityOD
BC;').CLARITY.[PUBLIC].
1;TRANS]
I get the following error:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(null)" returned message
"Invalid authorization specification".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(null)" returned message
"Invalid connection string attribute".
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(null)" reported an error.
Authentication failed.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for
linked server "(null)".
Obviously, I am doing something wrong but I haven't used OpenDataSource
before and I am struggling to find samples for the above scenario ie using a
System DSN and I'm not even sure if I should be using SQLOLEDB
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
MarkHi, Mark,
From your description, I understand that:
You encountered the error :
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(null)" returned message
"Invalid authorization specification".
When you executed the distributed query:
SELECT *
FROM OPENdatasource('SQLOLEDB','dsn=ClarityOD
BC;').CLARITY.[PUBLIC].
1;TRANS]
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.
The error should be caused by not specifying authentication information.
If you would like to use Windows authentication, please add "Integrated
Security=SSPI" to the init_string parameter, for example:
SELECT *
FROM OPENdatasource('SQLOLEDB','dsn=MySQL2000
;Integrated
Security=SSPI').Northwind.dbo.Categories
If you use SQL Authentication, please add "User
ID=<userid>;Password=<password>" to the init_string parameter. It is
recommended that your password uses a strong name. For example:
SELECT *
FROM OPENdatasource('SQLOLEDB','dsn=MySQL2000
;User
Id=sa;Password=Password!01').Northwind.dbo.Categories
Hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel
free to let me know.
Have a good day!
